'Ghost Guns' Manufactured On Steps Of TX Capitol


http://www.manufacturing.net/articles/2015/01/ghost-guns-manufactured-on-steps-of-tx-capitol?et_cid=4364239&et_rid=54679148&type=headline

Yesterday when the Texas State Legislature convened in the Austin state capitol, they were greeted with a very unique form of demonstration — Advocates of open carry were manufacturing ‘ghost guns’ in front of the capital to celebrate three proposed open carry bills.

The bill HB 195 was the main cause for celebration however; this bill if passed would allow the open carry of handguns without permits, a right that is currently denied to gun owners in Texas.

Come and Take it Texas, the group rallying on the capitol steps, purchased the Ghost Cutter CNC machine — a 3D printer designed to manufacture guns — and could be seen manufacturing guns and rallying for their rights to carry guns openly

You can tell when people can manufacture firearms on the steps of the state capitol that technology has long left them behind... Thier thinking is completely obsolete..

Sooner, hopefully SOONER than later, they will start focusing on something that will really help with violent crime, like jobs and mental health. I stand ready to help them when that time comes..

Standing shoulder to shoulder with the people we're struggling against now, working to make a real difference in the lives of people who need it most? I would love to see that happen!
